man mergemaster | hd | less -p'80 90' shows 0x80 and 0x90 characters where lines should be hyphenated. 0x80 0x90 shows as "-" in an xterm, but as three non-English characters on a real console. Likewise, parens come out as 0xa8 and 0xe2. groff works correctly: gzcat /usr/share/man/man8/mergemaster.8.gz | groff -Tascii -mdoc - nroff does not: gzcat /usr/share/man/man8/mergemaster.8.gz | nroff -mdoc -
